Cyanide is a carbon atom triple bonded to a nitrogen atom.

氰离子（cyanide），是碳原子与氮原子以三键结合（C≡N¯）。

Just two or three carbon atoms, a hydroxyl group, and some hydrogens.

只有两个或三个碳原子、一个羟基以及一些氢原子。

But these carbon atoms are completely surrounded by the hydrogen atoms.

但是这些碳原子完全被氢原子包围着。

Size ratio was all wrong. Couldn't visualize it. Needed bigger carbon atoms.

体积比错得一塌糊涂 我不能把它们具象化 我要找更大的碳原子。

The Sun doesn't have enough mass to squeeze carbon atoms enough to fuse them.

太阳没有足够的质量来挤压碳原子使它们发生聚变。

Diamonds form when carbon atoms are pushed close together by intense pressure conditions deep underground.

钻石是在地下深处的高压条件下，碳原子被挤压在一起时形成的。

And those chemicals are primarily composed of large chains of carbon atoms.

那些化学物质主要是由大量的碳原子链构成。

A PTFE chain has a backbone of carbon atoms, each of which is attached to two fluorines.

一个PTFE链有碳原子的主链，每一个碳原子还连接两个氟原子。

It's a thiol, an organic compound in which a carbon atom is bonded to a sulfur-hydrogen pair.

它属于硫醇，是一种碳原子和硫氢基结合的有机化合物。

So unsaturated fats don't have as many hydrogens as they could have per carbon atom.

所以不饱和脂肪分子没有每个碳原子拥有的氢原子多。

On a chemical level, a diamond is just a bunch of carbon atoms bonded together in tetrahedrons.

从化学角度来看，钻石是一堆碳原子紧密结合成的四面体结构晶体。

They're made up of multiple subunits of an organic molecule called isoprene, which has five carbon atoms.

它们是由多个有机分子亚基组成的，含有五个碳原子的异戊二烯。

Basically, it has two cyclic structures smushed together and every carbon atom on the ring has another carbon atom hanging off of it.

基本上说，它是两个相互铰链的环状结构，碳环上的每个碳原子都与另一个相连。

In thalidomide, for example, the chiral center is a carbon atom attached to one of the rings.

例如在萨力多胺中，手性中心是一个吸附在一个结构环上的碳原子。

And this can actually change from carbon atom to carbon atom.

这实际上可以从碳原子变为碳原子。

We burn that stuff and each carbon atom combines with two atoms of oxygen from our atmosphere to make carbon dioxide, CO2.

我们燃烧这些东西，每个碳原子与大气中的两个氧原子结合，形成二氧化碳，CO2。

Then, they use high pressure and temperature tools to turn carbon atoms, usually from a carbon-containing gas, into layers of diamond.

然后他们通过高温高压使来源于含碳气体中的碳原子在基底上沉积为钻石。

This tells me the mass of the entire carbon atom, of this particular carbon atom.

这告诉我这个特定碳原子的整个碳原子的质量。

Over 160 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface, the intense heat and pressure forced carbon atoms into that tetrahedral structure to form diamonds.

在距离地表160多千米深处，高温高压使碳原子们形成为四面体结构，再进一步形成钻石。

So we know that diamonds are made of squished and superheated carbon atoms, but we're not exactly sure where that carbon came from.

现在我们知道了钻石是由碳原子经历高温高压后形成的，但我们并不确定这些碳原子从何而来。
